Chapter 81
If...
- Hey, wake up, man, it's daybreak!
- Damn, what on earth did he dream about which fifty colors appear all on his face?
He rubbed his eyes to see who had woken him up. The blinding sunlight shone directly on his face, and he squinted his hazy eyes, raised hand to his forehead to block the glare, vaguely saw group people tall and short standing and sitting.
They fat, thin, were all different in stature, height, and appearance, some were more handsome than the romantic guys, some were cold and angular, every strong line cut into their sharp-edged faces, opposing them were several men were solemn like a general inspecting troops.
Their body were similar, were all healthy and strong, with bulging muscles and abdominal muscles that were no less than any bodybuilder, in particular, each of them had a leg as big as a pavilion pillar, strong and firm like a pillar holding up the sky.
They were shaped like tigers leopards, clothes ranged from old fashion to modern fashion styles, some even dressed like hippies. He grimace at their unique appearance and clothing style:
- Tsk, I didn't know the dads were on the track and field team or the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, startle!
He raised his mouth and blinked his eyes, as if he would die immediately if he knew:
- Today why dress like a group of chameleons?
Everyone smiled a different type as if to say that dressing like this is diversity, while the rest of the people looked miserable and waved their hands in front of their noses:
- Go brush your teeth, your mouth is rotten to the point splatter cage!
- Admittedly, damn, the nose is choking!
He laughed until his whole body vibrated, stood up, stretched his shoulders, twisted his ribs a few times, and walked slowly to the bathroom with sleepy eyes.
After a while, he went to the next room. Every patient room here has a room for family members to visit patients.
The room is airy and spacious, suitable for gathering and living, and equipped with the most modern facilities. The largest wall of the room is a huge glass panel, which allows family members to observe the patient's room while talking.
The whole track team was there now, all gathered around the big table. He turned his chair back to get closer to the table, sat down, rested his chin on the chair back, and turned his silent gaze to his brother who lay motionless.
The track team was still joking, gulping down beer, a bunch the food grinder wolfing down food, teasing the most depressed guy in the group:
- Older brother is not dead yet, but you brought a funeral? This guy is so precious that he turned into a gay!
- He is madly in love with his brother!
- Damn, I have goose bumps all over my body!
- Stay strong, cry man!
In the face of all the teasing, he remained silent, not caring about the excessive noise coming from the crowd, who were super naughty all the time, still muddy even though the fun or sadness.
All the feelings were shaky in pain... the white-haired person... drowned in the sea of suffering... crying and sad... the black-haired man remained silent, tormenting mind, torturing spirit, eroding the psychology of his relatives who were waiting for his return through the weak rhythm of breathing.
- I am afraid that brother will not be able to take care of himself in the future!
The track team was talking and laughing, chugging beer. The funny voices gradually subsided and then disappeared. Some frowned, some smacked their lips, sighed, and lamented that they had a good time, but were cut across by a multi-sentimental person.
No one was in the mood to play with the panic of the chaotic overlapping gratitude - righteousness - sorrow - hate... but... not knowing who the enemy was let him vent all the pain and accumulated anger.
The annoyance was pushed to the extreme because... he could not... gain trust from the people he cared about yet.
A stuffy atmosphere enveloped the room. The guy touched the long scar on his strong arm.
The other looked down at legs deformed by the crisscrossing scars... marked with... old injuries... to face the past already becomes the turning point change life's future…
It was pouring rain that day…
Hoang Kim was returning home, suddenly stopped and squinted his eyes to see the shipper running in the distance, followed by a group of screaming gangsters chasing him.
He panicked and drove his car directly to block the road. The thugs hurry jump out around and dodged, swearing loudly, waving sticks and threatening to smash the car, and shouted:
"Get out of the car…"
"Dog, you dare to get in the way."
Shipper was about to run away when he saw familiar figure. His agile steps suddenly stopped and he couldn't move even half a step, he was immediately surrounded.
The juniors found that the Hoang Kim was blocking the road, frowned in worry, discussed for a while, and decided to call the boss.
A few minutes later, the boss drove to the place. The juniors made way to the side, three people got out of the car.
The first one to go was a tall and strong guy, wearing white pants and leather jacket, bare-chested, with a cold and sharp face, striding towards the scene.
Behind him followed two twins, with dusty appearance, slender. They had floating curly hair, skinny faces, dressed like hippies, smoking and blowing smoke from the edges of their mouths.
Hoang Kim, the shipper and the guy come face to face. The shipper feels guilty about implicating Hoang Kim and is worried that his acquaintance will get into trouble because of him.
Hoang Kim has no regrets, or fears. He is strangely calm when he suddenly meets his acquaintance and even though danger from all sides, he does not hesitate to face the gangster boss.
The boss frowned, squinted his eyes, and looked confused, Hoang Kim and shipper looked at each other, convinced that the other was afraid of reputation, if they harmed a world superstar, national treasure, they must evade the arrest warrant until death, if caught, the worst punishment would be death penalty, the lightest be imprisonment until death.
"Big brother, what should we do now?"
A limb development guy speak loudly:
"What's wrong? If you dare to disrupt big brother's business, even world superstars must be beaten..."
Before he could utter the word "die", the big brother angrily slapped chin until it swelled, he fell to the ground, his face purple, his teeth broken, mouth full of blood, dared not cough, everyone shouted contemptuously, scolded him:
"Damn you mother, shut your dog mouth, you stupid."
"Dead you mother, you dog brain."
"You're live just making the land cramped…"
The boss smacked his lips, exhaled, and glanced at the shipper, as if you was the type who had good luck today, he turned his anger into joy and said happily to Hoang Kim:
"The earth is indeed round. I have been waiting for this day for a long time..."
Hoang Kim smiled slightly. When the gangster wanted to raise his hand, but took it back, he afraid that someone would make up story world star had secret relationship with gangster, concern about this issue, from then until now not yet go meet Hoang Kim. Big brother smiled lightly and deliberately said loudly:
"According to the rules, anyone who dares to evade debts should have his fingers chopped off. But respect Hoang Kim saved the lives my mother and elder sister in apartment fire last year. - He smirked at the shipper - Today I let you go."
People watched from afar, whispering and talking. Hoang Kim was surprised by the unbelievable coincidence, patted his forehead blankly, thinking of the fire, many people were in trouble that night, and he couldn't be sure who was the big brother's relative.
Some of the juniors came forward to thank Hoang Kim for saving their relatives in the fire. Others bowed their heads solemnly and thanked Hoang Kim for helping their families in other incidents.
Hoang Kim was confused, vaguely wondering when this favor was "created". He didn't even know who they were, nor did he remember who he had helped specifically.
A girl and six guys of different heights, dressed in different styles, some with neat and shiny hair, others with messy hair, all came out one after another, the oldest said:
"Our father went to visit relatives until late at night. Unfortunately, he had an accident on Thuy Phung street. There was no one around that night. If you hadn't taken him to the hospital in time, the doctor said that my father would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life..."
They thanked the Hoang Kim. A tall, face scarred fellow said:
"My mother was chased and beaten by a bunch of Cobra gang bastards and was seriously injured. You risked your life to rescue her put in the car, sent her to the hospital, and received timely treatment, so my mother escaped death…"
He thanked and let the others speak. It was the big brother's turn to describe in detail what his relatives looked like that night when Hoang Kim broke the wall to save people.
Hoang Kim tried to imagine, but he only remembered saving the family and relatives of juniors.
"It was very chaotic that night, with thick smoke and flames, and I didn't recognize anyone. Many people participated in the rescue that day, so I'm not sure if I saved you guys family. Maybe it was this guy…"
Hoang Kim patted the shipper on the shoulder:
"Truong Xuan hold the ladder while I smashed the wall. He was enthusiastic and looked for ways to save people regardless of the danger. Perhaps you guys should thank him…"
All eyes were focused on Truong Xuan. Shipper no longer saw them despise or get angry at the delayed debtor.
If someone else confirmed the news, a bunch of tigers, leopards, foxes, minks would not believe that the slender scholar not tie chicken tightly but had the strength and courage to save people in the sea of fire.
A bunch of gangters people who had just chased him, but now secretly admired person who could become their benefactor.
The tense atmosphere gradually subsided. The big brother sighed:
"Wow, you never remember who you saved, and you don't even know how many people you saved, you are indeed a national hero!"
He half-smiled:
"Maybe him saved the junior' relatives. - He was 100% sure - but you are definitely the benefactor of my family. You don't remember who you saved, but the victim knew clearly who saved herself. My mother and elder sister heard the voice of Hoang Kim and saw you saving them."
The juniors bowed their heads, hiding their silent smiles, Hoang Kim laughed at the other party's implicit praise of his benefactor.
The guy was secretly proud that he and his relatives were grateful to Hoang Kim for saving lives, big brother shouted loudly with the eager crowd:
"Those who have idle groins, listen carefully. Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan are the benefactors who saved our family's lives!"
Knowing that these words could not dispel the doubts and rumors of this stinking world, he still adhered to the principle of gang law: everything is transparent, and then the boss sneered at Truong Xuan:
"This debt-evading kid is also very brave and righteousness. He actually missed the opportunity to escape let share the hardships with his savior. - He squinted his eyes, touched his chin, opened his mouth, and smiled "suspiciously" - Hey, don't tell me you are afraid of losing your soul, but you are still smart. You predict that the big brother of gangters respects friendship and righteousness as life and will admire and let you two go."
Truong Xuan did not show his emotions like Hoang Kim did. He tried to hold back his laughter at the boss who used every opportunity to teach the juniors.
"Tsk, if I stay, I'll be in risk becoming a dead soul. But if I run away alone, I'll be worse than a dog, hide lurk, the cowardly, ungrateful person be you all hunted down... and... I have to run from myself for the rest of my life. It's as simple as that."
The some smacked their lips, some smacked their tongue, and some uttered foul language:
"What dog simple? A bunch of people are chasing you and you're so scared that you're cowering buttocks, but you say it's simple. Are you kidding me?"
"Simple, did I hear you right, guys?"
"Those we chased were so scared that they peed their pants, abandoned their wives and children and fled. Many even forced their relatives to die in place their, and you are "simply" afraid to live in shame, dog."
The big brother sighed:
"Fuck, this world is most afraid of reckless guy…"
Hoang Kim wiped his nose several times to hide his smile... because... a bunch of people who were life on the edge of a knife and died under a gun, deliberately used contemptuous tones to swear and curse, so as not to be criticized as cheesy and sentimental like a woman.
He looked at both sides and saw that there was no more "compliment" and no excuse to curse loudly. The scene could easily fall into an awkward situation, then said to Truong Xuan:
"You consider saving a benefactor a heroic act, and value friendship and righteousness, so that will not live in vain by sacrificing your own life. But that is when you have no relatives, something can accept temporarily. If there is only one dearest person left, this behavior should be condemned as wrong, senseless, and irresponsible to your family. Whatever you do, never let your loved ones suffer the consequences and bring disaster to your family. Whatever decision you make, you should worry about your mother, not me or anyone else. If today… - Hoang Kim cleared his throat - The another gang come attack you, you will definitely die miserably. Who will take care of your mother? Will she be able to get over the loss of her only child?"
Truong Xuan smiled when at the advice… in stark contrast to Hoang Kim's behavior. The nation hero immediately shook his head:
"No, don't learn the "virtue" of caring about others before thinking about yourself. Living like that is tiring so don't follow my example. As for me, I can't sleep if I don't save people from danger and help those in need... and... you or others are not me. You guys are not Hoang Kim. I am a person who is born with reckless blood and busybody nature, and saving people is my instinct."
Hoang Kim burst out smiling:
"Let alone I have armor to protect me from all harm, and that armor is that both of the tiger and panther younger brother are crazy about their older brother…"
Hoang Kim advised with a humorous voice, the listener realized that what he wanted to say most was that everyone must be afraid... two younger brother... would eat anyone who dared to touch their older brother.
The gang of gangsters did not laugh, nor did they feel upset by these words that could be easily misunderstood, because only a madman would be so foolish as to provoke the "two younger brother tiger and leopard" to anger.
The big brother and the juniors pondered over this advice has many different meanings, each sentence contained a hidden meaning for the gang. Everyone to open their eyes as wide as possible, more shocked than when they recognized the person who saved Truong Xuan.
It was difficult for everyone to believe the absurd "hidden meaning", except for the most nosy person in the world history, who ate at one family's table, meddle in thousands of families' affairs, had an idle groin, and did crazy things with almost zero odds of realization.
Truong Xuan was extremely surprised, and stared at his benefactor with stiff eyes, as if Hoang Kim was not a human being... but... some strange species that could not be explained by the world.
This situation reminded him of the first time he encountered Hoang Kim. On the way to deliver goods that day, his mobile phone prompted a text message. He hurriedly stopped the car, opened the phone, and saw the text message:
Where are you now? Your mother has had a stroke and is in the hospital.
The terrifying news urged him to drive quickly. He was flustered, trembling all over, and his eyesight blurred by tears, causing him to lose control of the steering wheel and be hit by a car driving on the opposite side, pushing him to the road.
Blood flows on his head, he vaguely saw Hoang Kim and Sam regardless of the traffic on the road, almost had an accident, driving fast, helped him into the car and sent to the emergency room.
Although he survived, his hands were severely injured and the cost of surgery was huge. Hoang Kim paid all the hospital expenses and hired the best physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons to treat Truong Xuan's hands were in danger of paralysis.
"You also saved my mother from a stroke. Without you, my mother and I would have been reunited with our ancestors long ago!"
Truong Xuan smiled lightly, relaxed, put down the psychological burden that he could not yet repay. Now his wish has come true:
"Dogs know how to save their masters, not to mention humans. You are more than a benefactor to me and my mother. If I escape alone, will I still have the face to see my mother? My mother will never forgive me!"
Truong Xuan did not express his emotions, and comfortably recounted the past... just like... Hoang Kim calmly accepted the "gratitude". But it is this normality... that reveals that both of them understand each other's mentality, and do not need to show anything, nor do they care about the gossip of the worldly in the distance:
"If they value each other so much, why doesn't gold help him pay his debt?"
"That's right, a world-famous superstar with such a huge fortune would actually let his younger brother be hunted down by gangsters for evading debts?"
"That's true... ah, forget it…"
Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan didn't care what the worldly bark. They focused on the hidden meanings that affected the gangsters' psychology. The person whose father was got into trouble smacked his lips and sighed, while the person whose mother was slash injured off was confused and scratched his head.
The big brother considered everything. From the moment he entered the underworld, through the rain blood, he climbed up to the position of leader. The price he had to pay was that his father was killed by the enemy. His elder brother sacrificed himself to save him in a gang fight.
The subordinates suffered the same fate, this guy lost his father, another lost his mother, and one even went crazy from watching his wife and mother being raped to death.
Ever since the night his family escaped death, the big brother began to worry about a tragic ending in the future. Fear led him to suspect that the enemy was the mastermind behind the fire. He did not believe that luck would accompany him throughout his life.
In recent times, the number of dangerous incidents he and his family have encountered has increased. His family and relatives in the group are terrified. His gang is nervous and worried about dealing with enemies and the police…
Speaking of the police, the law enforcement team immediately appeared. The police mob ordered to surround the scene. Hoang Kim smiled slightly and glanced at the gang leader.
The big brother was talking to the police, but come across mysterious smile and a magic mirror-like look... making him... feel that his mind was seen through. Hoang Kim explained calmly:
"Hello comrades, this was all just a misunderstanding and we have resolved it satisfactorily."
Everyone reports everything. The police punish the crime of disturbing public order according to law.
"You guys are also charged with assault…"
Hoang Kim said slowly:
"Truong Xuan was chased and beaten, but his injuries were not serious, just a few scratches. They compensated Changchun for his physical and mental injuries, and I paid off his debts. Both reconcile, wouldn't that be better?"
Hoang Kim always values peace, avoids confrontation, and minimizes the risk of making enemies. The last sentence caught the attention of the police team:
"Mainly I hope they have a turn over a new leaf opportunity!"
Hundreds of eyes swarmed rushed forward him, surrounding him... making him feel like everyone was going to dissect every layer of his psyche, peeling off every thought that was different from life. The whispers were louder than before, the flashes of cell phones and cameras sparkled the smile that spread across the Hoang Kim lips.
That smile was still warm, gentle, and friendly, simplifying everything making life easier... but... the moment their thoughts were officially understood, a group of people in gangters suddenly trembled with fear and asked themselves whether Hoang Kim was a human?
Why would this cruel and selfish world give birth to someone never yet lives for himself like him?
This ridiculous, crazy nonsense turned Hoang Kim into a vague, confusing question mark in the eyes of Phuong Hoang and the police team, urging and stimulating people's curiosity, wondering what kind of person Hoang Kim is?
Because even if search the whole world can't find anyone like him. Everyone has already believed the conclusion drawn by the most modern human analysis machine:
"It is impossible to explore out and understand Hoang Kim! Perhap only the most historical busybody - Hoang Kim's idol - General That Thuong, and General Thuy Phung rose from the grave, could sympathize and understand him."
All were surprised, even more excited... when... the thug policeman raised his mouth and smiled, couldn't wait to see what unbelievable story Hoang Kim could create again. The guy shrugged:
"What horror are you look at? I like everyone else, know next to nothing about the national hero."
Hoang Kim giggle. A serious man who had never laughed strange made people even more curious. He asked the main question:
"Ask comrades, how can they turn over a new leaf and reintegrate into society?"
The police team smiled when the gold was set up a situation. Phuong Hoang answer:
"Except for unpardonable crimes, all other crimes can be pardoned and treated leniently and turn over a new leaf. As for reintegration into society, it depends on the good reform and goodness of the prisoners…"
Phuong Hoang cleared his throat and turned to the crowd that was filming and broadcasting live:
"… and based on the tolerance generosity of society accept giving them a chance?"
Hoang Kim asked, about the gangs? Phuong Hoang let Kim to answer:
"As long as they have never committed an unforgivable crime, they will be treated leniently and have a chance to turn over a new leaf. But whether society will allow them to reintegrate into society... - Kim smacked his lips - depends on luck..."
Several people in the crowd raised their hands and shouted:
"I protest, I see they are trying to demanding protection money of people, they don't deserve leniency…"
"I object too. We don't accept bad people!"
They shouted loudly, calling on everyone agree with them, but only a few people acted the dog behaved, most hesitated and did not dare to express their opinions. The rest were gentle:
"No one is perfect. Although the Vermilion Bird gang is not as bad as other gangs, they are still different from ordinary people. It's best to give them a turn over a new leaf to themselves!"
Vermilion Bird gang and Hoang Kim smiled faintly, convinced that group of people disguised as civilians were protesting. The purpose was to remove the thorns in their eyes. The supporters were also wolves in human skin, not good at all. These guys are more cunning than those superficial guys, and they eliminate their opponents in a kind way.
If Vermilion Bird truly change, they will celebrate. If commits the offense again, the serious ones will be executed, and the minor ones will die in prison. The guarantor will be implicated. They held a big banquet.
Hoang Kim leisurely opened his phone and played dozens of clips. The screen showed a long scene of Vermilion Bird gang defeating the gangsters, driving away other people who came to disturb them, ask for money like a hooligan, demanding money from traders. The shop owners happily took the initiative to hand over protection money to Vermilion Bird in person.
"My friends and I took turns secretly monitoring for a year. Vermilion Bird never asked for protection money. They only collected fees when they were protecting innocent people. If there were no problems, they would not charge a penny."
The video clip clearly shows the date and time, and the person who filmed it is the guarantor of all truth. The police confirmed that criminal records show that Vermilion Bird has once had prison sentence member, but no one has committed an unpardonable crime. Kim closed:
"They never disturbed or harmed innocent people."
The the disguised crowd still did not give up:
"Unreasonable. Gangs don't harm innocent people, they never commit unforgivable crimes, and they don't buy or sell contraband, where do they get the huge funds to develop the gangs into what they are now? I don't believe."
"What do you mean by not harming innocent people? Then how do you explain the assaulted the shipper?"
"I saw the shipper being hunted down with my own eyes. If it wasn't for the Hoang Kim saving him, he would have been chopped to pieces."
Those who supported the change immediately expressed their opposition, and the two sides had a heated debate. Truong Xuan said:
"Before I met Hoang Kim, I borrowed a large sum of money from Vermilion Bird to treat my mother. The debt has not been repaid for many years, so Vermilion Bird must dealt vigorously. I will not sue, please give me time to earn and repay the debt."
Hoang Kim laughed and said it was a small matter:
"I will pay off Truong Xuan's debts, and you guy will compensate for the mental trauma. The whole village be peaceful and everyone be happy."
Vermilion Bird agreed. Truong Xuan thanked. Hoang Kim waved his hand, said nonsense politeness, and his tone turned sarcastic again:
"Don't run away from your debts and give the world an excuse to have fun."
Truong Xuan burst out laughing. Fenghuang smiled, because Hoang Kim resisted the trick of borrowed a knife to kill someone. A group of instigators were making a lot of noise. Kim took out a cigarette, lit it, took a breath, opened his mouth and exhaled the smoke, and talk nonsense:
"You mean, the kind of people who are greedy, angry, and stupid, plotting to harm others, preaching morality, but living like... huh?"
Those who drag others into the quagmire were immediately angry:
"Who are you mocking?"
"You are a police officer, why are you defending criminals like this?"
"Talk that sounds deafening. Why don't they just work kindly, which become gang?"
The angry crowd protested, noisier than the broken market. Phuong Hoang glanced at Kim, he showed the attitude of the most villain in the police station:
"Then why don't you guy use every moment to do business and make money to support your family? What is you guy intention in wasting time arguing here and forcing the other party into a dead end?"
Phuong Hoang chuckled, she heard his tone become vulgar and obscene. He sneered. His owl eyes swept across, coldness pierced into the minds of evil people.
It depends on the attitude of the other party. When he meets an uneducated person, he behaves like an uneducated person. Fighting against gangsters, he becomes a villain, more arrogant than any bull-headed guy. She echoed:
"Oh, by the way, why are you guy the only ones who strongly oppose this? Don't tell me you guy have a conflict with them?"
Being provoked constantly, a group he who excuses himself, accuses himself angry:
"Hey, what do you mean?"
"She said it as if we are hurting someone who is not innocent?"
Phuong Hoang was waiting for these words, and she immediately seized the opportunity:
"Then sue me for defamation. I'm ready to go to trial. But..."
Phuong Hoang crossed his arms and smiled charmingly:
"According to the newly enacted law, anyone who wants to sue must report their personal information to the city police station to complete the procedures. Ah, kill two birds with one stone. Reporting criminals, save time, energy."
The police officers laughed in their throats. Kim gave his colleagues a thumbs-up. A group of agitators felt guilty and angry, tried to leave because they were too lazy to argue with the stubborn debaters and would get even angrier if they stayed.
When the situation returns to normal, Kim mentions the conditions for convincing the criminal to change:
"The government will provide vocational training, create job opportunities for family of you guys, and send to a safe area, protected by soldiers day and night. You guy will join the Red Flag Hall team, undergo a year of rigorous training and testing."
Hoang Kim seriously said:
"I've said everything I wanted to say. You all can decide for yourselves. If agree, I will grant you all lifetime
guarantee let you to reintegrate into society!"
Under special circumstances, according to the law, people who want turn over a new leaf and reintegrate into society must have a guarantor. Hoang Kim's lifetime accept the risk that may ruin his career.
Kim smiled half-heartedly, pleased with the "unimaginable" thing that happened just as he expected. He smiled and glanced at Phuong Hoang. She had never been more "shocked" than this thing that only existed in imagination, and she had never "looked at anyone for so long" as she looked at Hoang Kim now.
Realizing that the Hoang Kim was about to turn towards her, the female police officer respected the law and guarded justice as if it were her life... and... worshipped righteousness hurriedly avoided this of affectionate righteous, veritable national hero. Kim remembered correctly that this was the first time the female police officer proudly avoided someone.
He glanced at Truong Xuan. Shipper was no stranger to Hoang Kim's character, younger brother had vaguely guessed it before, but he couldn't imagine that his older brother would "play wildly" to the point of making the space quiet and people silent. Outsiders were unbelievable and claimed that Hoang Kim dark conspiracy.
The insiders do not want to continue living a life of living today and dying tomorrow, implicate their families, and not know when the disaster will come, but they have not had the opportunity to change their fate. Now the opportunity has come, they do not want to miss it. But everyone has sworn allegiance to the big brother. He is still thinking, and they hesitate to make a decision.
He observed his gang subordinates and found that they all respected their big brother's decision. Everyone could not hide their excitement, impatience, and nervousness, fearing that their eldest brother would refuse, they had to endure the days of insecurity - living in the bloody battlefield and worrying about their families.
Everyone had fought alongside him for years, taking bullets for each other, sharing rice balls in the most tragic moments. Brothers volunteered to sell life for him, and he had risked his life with them countless times. He or anyone else could not selfishly force the people they loved to live a life without tomorrow.
They are tired of the cycle of stabbing, slashing, being seriously injured, being hospitalized, stabbing, slashing again, and worrying about dearest person be retaliated against.
The most tired and most eager to quit are probably the twins. A few days ago, their mother tried to persuade her children, but failed. She was disappointed and jumped off the bridge to commit suicide.
The god of luck sent Hoang Kim to save her life. Luck can't always be with them, they must find a way to break out of the loop before it's too late.
The two were restless, ready to move forward but hesitant. They kept smoking cigarettes, immediately lit up another one after finishing one let prevented from expressing self wishes. Although it was legitimate, it would also make the big brother lose face.
The other party hesitated, Hoang Kim did not rush him. The big brother frowned and asked:
"Why are you so trusting? Don't you consider that if we make the mistake again in the future, your reputation and career will be ruined?"
Hoang Kim asked:
"I want to ask the police comrades, in the history of world crime, have there been any gangs that were so afraid of being implicated and causing trouble that they dared not come to see the benefactor who saved their lives to express their gratitude?"
Phuong Hoang was surprised to see Kim giggle from ear to ear, as if he had heard Hoang Kim ask this question before. The police guy said it had never happened. Hoang Kim shrugged:
"I won't be play stupid game enough to save someone who is treacherous, cunning, and hard to change! But this matter is very important, and it may be a turning point in life... so... need to think carefully before deciding..."
The big brother exhaled, smacked his lips, smiled, why do we have to calculate make our brains twist. There is only one chance, there will be no second chance.
"Our ancestors accumulated merit for eighteen generations, so we have the opportunity to join the Red Flag Hall to change our lives. We are not stupid and brainless to miss this rare hard-to-find opportunity."
The gang subordinates was delighted and relieved, releasing the burden that was about to weigh them down, heard the big brother say loudly:
"I declare that from now on there will be no more Vermilion Bird gang. Everyone should take off armor and return to the fields, herding cattle and cutting grass in hometowns!"
The police force was delighted, with one less criminal, the danger was reduced, they were less tired and had less stress.
The entire police force applauded and celebrated. People simultaneously filmed Hoang Kim's live broadcast of the announce good news. Millions of viewers were surprised and excited to hear him tell everything and explain the reasons for guarantee for Vermilion Bird. Hoang Kim said seriously:
"A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. The police have confirmed that Vermilion Bird has never committed an unpardonable crime and should be treated leniently. I hope everyone will give Vermilion Birda chance to reintegrate into society!"
A large number of viewers enthusiastically supported it, but there were also many who were hesitant and many who strongly opposed it. Hoang Kim analyzed the pros and cons:
"Violence breeds violence. Cruelty responds to cruelty. Being generous to the right people who need generosity brings peace and joy. Not welcoming with an open heart pushes them into a dead end. We can't ruin the lives of people who deserve a chance to do good. Animals have feelings. We are human beings, not an ignorant species, don't be indifferent and cruel to each other! Please open your hearts and give them a chance. I am willing to stake my life's reputation on ensuring that the trust I place in them is not a mistake."
Calls and advice come with honor, but also warnings of forcing those who want to become human again to become monsters, which brings unpredictable consequences.
Good people think clearly, while bad people are afraid of being torn to pieces by monsters, the worldly does not sympathize with them, but condemns and criticizes them for being stupid and ignorant, worse than animals.
Phuong Hoang and Kim smile because unique and savvy way of opening the minds of good guys, frightening the bad guys, forcing them into situations where they are forced to agree.
"For people like Hoang Kim, friendship, righteousness and honor come second only to family. We don't have to worry about it anymore. All agree to this."
"Tsk, I'm suddenly in a situation where I have no choice but to agree."
"Whether it's forced or voluntary, I agree…"
"What the hell is forced or voluntary? As long as Hoang Kim speak up for help, no matter what the reason, I will agree."
Vermilion Bird gang happily congratulated each other and said to big brother happily:
"That's great, boss! No need to worry anymore!"
He cleared his throat and reminded:
"Tsk, the Vermilion Bird gang no longer exists. Don't call me boss anymore."
The gang subordinates said yeah, yeah, yeah, and took turns shaking hands with Hoang Kim, Truong Xuan, and the police team, raised their hands to greet the millions of spectators.
"Thank you two and everyone!"
***
Every word and every picture of the past brought a heavy feeling to those who thought that fun was the reason for living. Truong Xuan was the first to be forced to speak by the suffocating air:
- If older brother lose your left hand, I will make a bowl. If he lose your right hand, I will make chopsticks. If... he can't hold a bowl and chopsticks! - Truong Xuan lost his voice so much that no one recognized the most cheerful and humorous person in the team. He raised his hands and clenching every speech - These hands will be his!
The solemn group clenched their fists, the sound of bones cracking to prevent the pain from turning into multiple sentimentalism:
- If the he loses his leg, I'll be a crutch!
- I will be his wheelchair forever!
Leader Vermilion Bird guy and the hippies sneered, belittled, but their voices were distorted:
- You guys make the crutch and the other guy becomes his wheelchair, so insignificant…
They determined the future without hesitation:
- Losing an arm or a leg, or even being paralyzed for life, lying in one place, we will take turns carrying him for the rest of his life!
